BBC FEB 2017 REVIEW MENTION

Jay is specifically mentioned in the BBC Feb 2017 review of Casting JonBenet, although not by name: “When one of the better actors to try out for John explains his reasons for participating he says that though it’s a ghoulish thing to do, it’s “better than nothing”, and maybe, in some obscure way “it would help.” But by that he of course means “help with solving the still-open murder case” and that is not, nor ever was Green’s agenda here.”
